What is Pelvic Organ Prolapse?

Pelvic organ prolapse involves the descent of the pelvic organs such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum through the vagina. This is commonly a result of childbirth amongst other factors. Symptoms include feelings of heaviness, pressure or a bulge in the vagina, often resulting in difficulty emptying the bladder or bowels. Commonly, a prolapse may co-exist with urinary incontinence.

There are a range of treatment options for this condition including pelvic floor physiotherapy, vaginal pessaries, and surgeries. We offer the full range of surgical options tailored specifically to your preferences and condition, including all forms of vaginal and laparoscopic procedures. Dr Melon has particular expertise and interest in surgeries that do not involve the use of mesh.
